The Band - Music from Big Pink
50

Your dad likes this record.

Tyler, The Creator - CHROMAKOPIA
75

Souds like IGOR/Call Me If You Get Lost's leftovers.

Bob Dylan - Desire
30

What happened to Bob? Is he over-valued?

Fela Kuti & Africa 70 - Fela's London Scene
75

Fela's early talent in display.

Charles Mingus - Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus
35

Just a vapid, un-impressive Charlie Mingus LP.

Mos Def - Black on Both Sides
100

Mos Def solo auting gives us uplifting preching in Fear Not of Man, incredible samples in Hip Hop, Love and Ms. Fat Booty, hard hitters Speed Law and Do It Now, and the masterful confusion of Got. Why is UMI Says so beautiful? Rock n Roll is an amazing track y'all are sleeping on. 3-part Brooklyn is so funny and artsy. Then Yasin's magnum opus verse in Mathematics and the instrumental closer is one of the best endings to a hip hop album.

Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
70

Quirky and bipolar. A sister album to Meddle, which contained the long piece in side B rather than side A. Atom Heart Mother's side B is but a bunch of mushed leftovers in comparison to the center piece.

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway
50

It just bored me throughout

Against All Logic - 2017 - 2019
55

A disappointment coming off of 2012-2017.

John Coltrane - Ascension [Edition II]
40

Oddly enough, better than Edition I.

Eminem - The Slim Shady LP
80

Interesting the way in which Eminem had 3 debut records, each with a different personality. Slim Shady stands out from the three as the most outrageous.

The Stooges - Raw Power
75

Just another overrated Stooges album.

Sui Generis - Vida
90

From the very best Charly García made in his entire career. Incomprehensibly sofisticated and complex music for the young guys who were making it.

Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert
90

Fantastic music - cringy title (I know it spells SIMBI and it's so forced)

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
70

It's a great portrait of him as an artist at that point in time, but so are the 3 or 4 albums he made afterwards. Highlights? umm... Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat is hilarious, Visions of Johanna and Just Like a Woman seem to be the prettiest ballads. I don't really enjoy the closer, so the album ends up too long, but not long enough to make 20 minutes on each side of the vinyl, so it overcompensates and underdelivers at the same time.

Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles
50

I'm a big Hancock fan and Cantaloupe Island is a very good song, but the rest of this album is either cliché like the first two tracks or weird-ass like The Egg.

George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
100

Step aside Paul McCartney, step aside John Lennon, my boy George is gonna have the best solo record. Just a massive, monumental drop from the hidden gem himself: George Harrison. All the songs rule. Even the Apple Jam is fantastic.

Gil Scott-Heron - Pieces of a Man
85

Soulful and laid back. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is the kind of artistic piece that made him progress into something like H2Ogate Blues. Great to own, just very humble, some great songs.
